It’s been a long, hard slog. Because my gigs tend to be large (entire book manuscripts) instead of lots of small jobs, meeting that “50 gigs in two months” requirement was hard. I was starting to think I’d never get there because of the nature of my business, but recently I had a flurry of small formatting jobs. Today I made it.

My badge is purple and my heart is happy.

Imagine me chanting while pumping my arms in the air: I’M NUMBER TWO! I’M NUMBER TWO!
